While in England and Ireland we spent some time following both mine and my dh's Ancestor Trail, visiting the little villages they lived in and in some we were also fortunate enough to meet distant reli's who shared a common Ancestor. We enjoyed this much more than big cities and we were lucky enough to locate some graves. This ruined site was in the small village of Firies, Ireland and the resting place on many of my Ancestors on my mothers side. The headstones are very weathered and the inscriptions are quite difficult to read now. My 2 x great grandparents and other family members are buried here and this would be the little church that they attended back in the early 1800's. This layout will be part of my Family Heritage Album. Journalling is hidden behind the hexagon die bottom left and pulls out with the chippie.
Papers and small flowers are Kaisercraft. Large blue one's are DA. Can't remember who the chippie is from.
I am always very challenged for titles and I chose these papers not thinking that the title was right before me. The name of these lovely Kaisercraft pp's is called Forget Me Not...so I thought why not use it for my title!!
Thankyou so much for stopping and I hope you all have a wonderful week...hugs :)

How special to be able to trace your family history firsthand this way! This is such a beautiful page, and I love the title, photos, flowers, and hexagons!

This is so quaint. I love the idea of using the hexagon shape, it's a change from squares and circles! The photos are great and the layered chippie chicken wire accents them nicely. I love everything about this page. Well done.
